Q: Disable Popup System Messages

Hi All,

 

I have a number of El Capitan iMac's using Synology AFP network shares, the Synology NAS is connected to a El Capitan server via LDAP/Open Directory, and i keep having intermittent 'Server is Shutting Down' system messages popping up caused by, what i can only assume to be, the users connection (to the NAS) timing out.

 

Is it possible to disable or mute these popup message from within OSX?

 

I have looked on the Synology device itself to see if i can stop it sending the messages but i'm getting absolutely no where with it other that disabling an AFP 'Release resources immediately after disconnect' option but this causes further issues with the iMac's not being able to reconnect to the shares (shares are greyed-out) without either being restarted/rebooting or manually unmounting/removing the shares via Terminal.

 

Any help will be muchly appreciated!

iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6), iMac's connected to OSX Server
